Something as simple as inventing emojis that differentiate btwn Airtable single-selects & multi-selects saves me brain time once I get in Airtable itself & again when I get into Softr. Like writing my own tutorial. Prevents extra decisioning & cognitive fatigue. ๐Ÿง #buildinpublic
I think in mind maps and can't fathom planning for @airtable or @softr_io without them. I've always used mind map emojis, but I learned my lesson w/ Find a Damn Bra MVP ๐Ÿ‘™that I must also now include ones that mimick Airtable field types. Key for planning!

๐Ÿ‘€ Discovering scraping rabbit holes that I am declaring as out of scope til I complete the functional weekend backlog, though some are MVP critical.

๐Ÿ”ช Scraping backlog items:
-Logos
-Images
-Menus
-Videos

Good morning and welcome to Donut Scrum.

Challenge complete! I didn't make it in my 24 hr deadline, but I got it done. And I got all of the outcomes I strategized for:

โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ Get needle-moving reps in
โœ”๏ธ โœ… Make 5 that WORK
โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ“‰ โ†“ Build time
โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ†‘ Confidence
โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ… Know I did it

Up next: scraping!

Day 14/30 #100daysofnocode

Heading into Wk 3 & have gotten further than I feared I wouldn't. Former bootcamp lessons learned + strategy = payoff.

๐ŸคžPlan: 2 more apps tomorrow, then focus on scraping + new Airtable extension in prep for real MVP Build Weekend.

Evidently, Softr form creation is what I need to explore next. Couldn't figure it out by playing around--block and field edits weren't what I thought would be. Didn't have time to read or watch the tutorials yet. Out of scope! Another time.

#buildinpublic #learninpublic
App 3โƒฃ: 200+ Black Creators

This one was a special find. It deserved to be cared for and signal boosted. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Special thanks to Sean Canty, Assistant Professor of Architecture at @HarvardGSD for publicly offering the data.

Challenged myself to create 5โƒฃ timed @softr_io apps in 24 hours โฒ๏ธusing 10 random strangers' @airtable bases. Had to fill in some data holes & limited myself to basic fields & filters since I'm still a noob.

Thank you, Alex Andrews, whoever you are, for the Airtable data. (I will always give credit.)

His original base: Banksy Artery Database
My app: audie522.preview.softr.app

Can't figure out how to make the detail view show full images w/out clicking. Oh well for now.

Day 12/30 #100daysofnocode

Gonna become the Thomas Edison of Softr. Inevitable. I wanna make ELEVENTYBAJILLION Softr apps.

โœ… Sourced 10 strangers' Airtables to convert into 5 apps tomorrow.

5โƒฃ apps in 2โƒฃ4โƒฃ๐Ÿ•“hours OR BUST. Planning to fail a lot.

Day 11/30 #100daysofnocode

๐Ÿค“New strategy for learning to get unstuck/unlost in @airtable: look at strangers' bases, study the fields they linked, and infer the sequence of fields created first, PRIOR to linking.

Just like an old fave Sesame Street vignette. โค๏ธ

Worked on @yepdotso landing page for new @softr_io donut MVP๐Ÿฉ. Had a Raynaud's attack mid-copywriting for the block on body flare-ups. Clearly a sign from the no-code gods that the MVP will work & make me a bajillion $. #buildinpublic #Raynaudsinpublic
Day 8/30 #100daysofnocode

3 months of working on this project, and I still can't get past a certain point in Airtable. Record linking will be the death of me.
